they call attention to the fact that 1
in the city of Mexico, where these j
tablets were first tried out on a i
large scale, Dr. G. Pagenstecher, late j
director of the Am. Hospital there i
and a very prominent and greatly |
esteemed physician, reported as fol

1 do not know any better and more
efficient cure for Pneumonia than !
Oxidaze. 1 have had the chance to
cure several cases of suppurative
Pneumonia." Years later he report
ed that his treatment for the pre

tinued successfully with Oxidaze
Tablets. Dr. Frederick Hiller of the
same city report! d the same results
after ten years' practice with them.
A certain prominent Mill-owner
in Worcester County, Mass., who had
great confidence, from past experi

and distributed them to his em

Under these circumstances we
suggest that reliable physi

At this conference the organization
work for the big ten-county district
was practically completed and the

PRESIDENT SUPPORTS
UNITED WAR WORK
"Th& White House,
"Washington, Sept. 3, 1918.
"My Dear Mr. FosCick:
"May I not call your attention to a matter which has been re
cently engaging my thought not a little?
"The War Department has recognized the Young Men's Christian
Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, the National
Catholic War Council (Knights of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare
Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library
Association, and the Salvation Army as accepted Instrumentalities
through which the men in the ranks are to be assisted in many
essential matters of recreation and morale.
"It was evident from the first, and has become increasingly evident,
that the services rendered by these agencies to our Army and our
Allies are essentially one and all of a kind and must of necessity, if
well rendered, he rendered in the closest co-operation. It is my
judgment, therefore, that we shall secure the best results in the
matter of the support of these agencies, if these seven societies will
unite their forthcoming appeal for funds, In order that the spirit of
the country in this matter may he expressed without distinction of
race or religious opinion in support of what is in realty a common
service. '
"This point of view" is sustained by the necessity, which the war
lias forced upon us, of limiting our appeals for funds in such a way
that two or three comprehensive campaigns shall take the place of
a series of independent calls upon the generosity of the country.
"Will you not, therefore, as chairmun of the Commission on
Training Camp Activities, be good enough to request the societies in
question to combine thejr approaching nppeals for funds in a single
campaign, preferably during the week ol November 11, so that In
their solicitation of funds, as well us in their work in the field, they
may act in as complete co-operation and fellowship as possible.
"In inviting these organizations to give this new evidence of their
patriotic co-operation, I wish it distinctly understood that their com- -
pliunce with this request will not in any sense imply the surrender
on the part of any of them of its distinctive character and auton
omy, because I fully recognize the fact that each of them has its own
traditions, principles and relationships, which it properly prizes and
which, if preserved and strengthened, make possible the largest
service.
"At the same time, I would be obliged if you would convey to them
from me a very warm expression of the GtAernment's appreciation
of the splendid service they have rendered In ministering to the
troops at home and overseas in their leisure time. Thrbugh their
agencies the moral and spiritual resources of the nation have been
mobilized behind our forces and used in the finest way, and they
are contributing directly and effectively to the winning of the war.
"It has gratifying to find such a fine spirit .of co-operation
among all the leaders of the organizations I have mentioned. This
spirit and the patriotism of all the members and friends of these
agencies give me confidence to believe that the united war work
campaign will be crowned with abundant success.
"Cordially and sincerely yours,
'"WOODROW WILSON."
COMING OF PEACE
MUST NOT WORK
TO LABOR'S HURT
Sudden Idleness of Millions,
Menace Which Should
Be Averted
Washington, Oct. 2 B.—With peace
talk everywhere in the air, the
thought of the labor world is being
directed toward what' may happen
when we wake up some morning
and find that the war is over. Many
are fearing that peace may bring a
far greater immediate problem to
the country than is now offered by
war. •.
Republican Senators who are
striving to get through the Weeks'
resolution, calling for, the appoint
ment of a Congressional committee
on reconstruction, are facing the
fact that nearly all Industry is now
employed, directly or indirectly, up
on some product for war; and, that
immediately after peace is assured
all the warring governments may
cancel their war orders and con
tracts. To them it appears likely,
therefore, that when industry re
ceives this notice of cancellation a
large portion of the workmen and
workwomen In the country may at
once be thrown out of employment.

liow much unemployment will thus
be caused, but an itemized forecast
of this condition is unnecessary be
cause a serious situation would be
created even under the most favor
able conditions.
Senators Watson, Poindexter and
Cummins are a committee appointed
by the Republican Senatorial Con
ference to review and revise Senator
Weeks' plan for a joint Congression
al committee on reconstruction, and
the committee has already found
that the contemplated work is so
vast that it should require six com
mittees instead of one, and that they
should be organized as follows:
committee on demobilization of the
army and navy, committee on for
eign trade and commerce, commit
tee on interstate transportation,
committee on employers and em
ployes and committee on natural re
sources.
Danger of Unemployment
While no one engaged In consider
ing these problems of reconstruction
wishes to be quoted in making a
forecast, everyone is apprehensive
lest the gravity of the situation may
hot be soon enough appreciated. All
realize that under the present high
wages and full employment, the
American workman supplies the big
market for every sort of manufac
ture. However, if the workman's
income ceases, this market will be
destroyed. If so, what will be the
effect upon business of, 14t us say,
the talking machine, the piano, tail
oring, the bicycle, the motorcycle,
the cheap pleasure motor car, and
other similar semi-luxuries? The
demand for such things will un
doubtedly be diminished. If it i Bj
manufacturers will reduce their out
put; if they do, they will discharge
a large number of peace employes
which will add more to the ranks
of the unemployed
J. Calvin Brown author of "The
Cure for Poverty," "Every Ameri
can's Business," and other worlA,
says. "In the panic of 1593-7, when
there were only three million un
employed in America, this was suffi
cient to entirely close up and stop
4 4 per cent, of all manufacturing in
the United States, and to reduce pro
duction of the remaining half. Dur
SE^SjSj
ing that four years, , general busi
ness fell off 47 per cent, or $64,-
000,000,000; wages fell 69 per cent,
and unemployment dropped 61 per
cent. It Is estimated that the loss of
wages alone during these four years
exceeded $30,000,000,000."
The Republican Senators are con
centrating their efforts to secure an
enactment of legislation that will
adequately protect the country when
peace comes. They do not want the

which will maintain American indus

are considering is to insure the
opening of the new foreign markets
for American goods and to secure
an outlet for our product. They
want ways and means to be provided
